    Need Help w/ Un-Repairable Shark Fin Antenna

    I noticed that our shark fin antenna was loose as well. I can't see a gap under it but very light pressure and the antenna would rotate 5-10 degrees.

    CX-5 Fuel economy

    I've seen our mileage drop off as of lately. My wife drives the car most of the time and shes been avg 24.5mpg with mostly city driving. This past holiday weekend I did most of the driving. Usually 15-20mile jaunts on the highway, I"m absolutely babying it. Never over 3k rpm during highway...

    How to jack up your CX-5

    Anyone have any pro tips for jacking up their CX-5s? Owners manual says pinch weld but I never trust them. Perhaps I need to pick up one of those specialized jack attachments for pinch welds.

    SEMA CX-5s

    Really some good concepts here. The Dempsey is my favorite however the flares on the urban one are pretty sweet. http://www.autoblog.com/2012/10/30/mazda-cx-5-180-dempsey-urban-sema-2012/#aol-comments

    Tips for getting the best MPG

    I think highway speed is a big one for the CX-5. Watching the instantaneous on flat ground at 78-80mph i'll see 27-28mpg. Dropping it down to 75 29-30 and 70 is 31-32. Then on back roads where 55mph is the speed limit and cruising on flat ground at 60 its not uncommon to see high 30s or even...

    Engine Mount Issues

    Are they replacing the passenger side/drive side/ or the rear mount. I'm curious to know what the failure is. I work for an automotive supplier that supplies engine mounts so I'm curious of the failure. We sometimes get vibration in our cx-5 at idle and other times its completely smooth. I...

    Ordered a CX-5

    If you want the car sooner you may want to check out another dealer and see if they can do a dealer trade for what your looking for. It seems like theres more and more CX-5s on lots and it shouldn't take to long to find the car you are looking for.
